Simple module to call XInitThreads() to properly support multi-threaded X11 applications.

    # Using libX11.so.6 may seem a bit hard-coded, but a quick search on the Internet indicates
    # discussion of this ABI version back to before 2009, 12 years prior to when this code was added.
    # Also, with most of the development focus on Wayland, the chance of a ABI version bump in X11 is
    # exceptionally small. Therefore, no additional fancy discovery methods are necessary.

    # In order to use any X11 calls from multiple threads, the X11 library must be initialized to use
    # mutex protection. XInitThreads() sets this up and must be called before any other X11
    # initialization is performed. Since this always needs to be called before other imports anyway,
    # this module does the init at module import time.
